Fire Door Hinges & Ironmongery in Watford

Whether it is a block of flats, a school or a care home in Watford, our fire door ironmongery repairs follow the same door-by-door method and report format.

Fire door ironmongery is the hardware on a fire door, hinges, latches, locks, handles, closers, letter plates and spy holes, which must be suitable for use on fire doors so it does not create a weak point when the door is exposed to fire. We use the same method for buildings in Watford.

Common questions in Watford

Does regulation 10 apply to buildings in Watford?

Yes, if the building is a multi-occupied residential building with storeys over 11 metres. Watford is in England, so the quarterly communal door checks and annual flat entrance door checks apply to those buildings.

Do letter plates on flat doors need to be fire-rated?

Yes, where the flat entrance door is a fire door. Fire-rated letter plates include intumescent liners that close the opening in a fire.

Are cat flaps allowed in fire doors?

Not unless the flap is part of the door's tested design. A cat flap cut into a fire door, including many flat entrance doors, will normally make it non-compliant.

Do you work in occupied buildings in Watford?

Yes. Inspections and repairs in Watford can be carried out in occupied flats, schools, care homes and workplaces, with doors kept closable at all times.
